Estrella, a remarkable woman of strength and independence, bears the weight of a dark, enigmatic past that shrouds her in mystery. Love had touched her heart only once in her lifetime, but it was a love that ended in a heart-wrenching tragedy, or so she had believed. The passing of her beloved left a profound void in her soul, a chasm she never thought could be filled. Lorenzo, affectionately known as Enzo, stands as the enigmatic figure that traverses the boundary between Estrella's nightmares and dreams. He was the one who had elusively slipped through Estrella's grasp, leaving her to grapple with a potent sense of loss and longing that haunted her every waking moment. His presence in her life was like a fleeting shadow, leaving imprints on her heart and mind that were indelible. But life has a way of surprising us in the most unexpected and extraordinary ways. What unfolds when the love of your life, whom you held in your arms as they departed this world, suddenly reemerges from the depths of the past a full decade later? It's a twist that defies all comprehension, prompting Estrella to question whether her beloved ever truly departed from this world or if there was something mystical and profound at play beyond her understanding. As Estrella's life becomes entwined with this perplexing enigma, the very essence of what it means to love, lose, and rediscover love takes on new and captivating dimensions that defy the conventional boundaries of human experience.

"Why can't I fucking hit you?" Thomas yells, smacking the belt close to her feet. "Why," he smacks it on the door above her head. "Why, fucking why" to the right and left sides of her body. Melina trembles against the door with her eyes closed and head tucked between her knees. She jumps, sniffing Thomas' cologne, and tries to hide more. He's probably bending down. "I want to hurt you, Melina, but I fucking can't. Tell me why I fucking can't. Tell me why," she bites her lips to muffle her sobs as she fears they will exacerbate her situation. "Fucking look at me when I am talking to you," Thomas says, grabbing her hair and pulling her head up. "I am- so-r-r-r-y," she says as she turns to face him with her tear-stained face and bloodshot eyes. "Did you think it would work? Did you actually think you could get me arrested and then flee? Are you that dumb, Melina?" he tightens his grip on her hair, and it starts to hurt. Melina can't believe this is what he thinks. How will she prove that it was never her intention to have him arrested? ******** Melina Davis was born with the face and body of a goddess.
